    Pressure again on the man from Yorkshire after a loose forehand sails into the tramlines taking us to 30-30.

    Pressure? What pressure? 

    Edmund pummels another forehand drive volley past his opponent and then shows great speed to get up to the net and and steer the passing shot winner.

    Pella straight back in front.

    Chants of "Guido, Guido" from the Argentinean contingent in Glasgow.

    After a few early nerves, their man is looking steady in this match.

    Edmund 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 1-1 Pella*

    Tidy game from Edmund.

    He holds to love to even things up.

    Another crunching forehand, Edmund's 23nd winner of the match, the shot of note in that game.

    *Edmund 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 0-1 Pella

    'Come on Kedders,' Leon Smith shouts from the sidelines.

    The Briton battles to 30-30 before a tidy volley from Pella sets up game point.

    Huge forehand from Edmund though on the next point takes us to deuce.

    Not to be for him in this game though. The leftie serve out wide wins the game.

    Edmund's unforced errors came right at the end and that was what decided it.

    What a boost for the Argentinians, that was a must win set for them.

    Groans around the Emirates Arena.

    Pella smashes and grabs the break of serve to sweep away the second set and put the match back in the balance.

    *Edmund 7-6 (7-5) 4-5 Pella

    Guido Pella is a sweatier man than Kyle Edmund. 

    The Briton just glows while Pella employs a full towel-down routine.

    Pella is being made to do more chasing, but styles make fights and so far this one is difficult to split.

    Edmund doesn't show much emotion but he is rightly getting pumped up there that was a big hold from break point.

  11. Edmund saves break point, holdspublished at 20:28 British Summer Time 16 September 2016

    Edmund 7-6 (7-5) 4-4 *Pella

    Kyle Edmund is coming in behind his forehand barrage to finish points early with put-away volleys rather than just rely on himself to hit the smaller targets from the back of the court.

    Guido Pella hits a staggering down the line winner to bring up a break point.

    Edmund responds with a sweet-as-a-nut inside out winner to take it to deuce.

    A big ace, a zippy forehand and the danger is snuffed out.

    This afternoon's action has been going on for so long that the Emirates Arena disc jockey has come full circle I think.

    Dire Straits' Walk of Life is given another airing as Jamie Murray has some advice for Edmund on his return position. Captain Leon Smith delivers the message from courtside.

    Kyle Edmund's siege-gun of a forehand is setting the tempo of this match.

    But Guido Pella jams in a good couple of serves to prevent Edmund loading up off that wing again.

    Andy Murray speaking after his defeat to Juan Martin del Potro: "I think it was good match. I felt there wasn't too many mistakes on important moments.

    "Both of us came up with good stuff and the shot he came up with to break in the fifth set was the difference." 

    Asked how it was playing on the day of his grandfather's funeral: "I planned on playing but it was hard, I have never experienced anything like that before.

    And on returning to play doubles on Saturday: "I have never played a match of that length. I will have to see how I feel when I wake up in the morning but it will be tough that is for sure."

    No obvious after-effects from that tie-break disappointment as Pella holds to love.
